I concur about the title track. I love the album as a whole, though. Top 5 Madge for me.

I really like some of the tracks on this album. I just wish it had a better "theme" to it.

Nothing Fails
Love Profusion
Hollywood
Nobody Knows Me
Intervention
X-Static Process
Easy Ride

I think it should have been an entire accoustic album. WOuld have worked better, I think. Slap the Music cover on it, it would have made better sense...a better listing would have been..

Amazing
Hollywood
Love Profusion
Nothing Fails
Don't Tell Me
I deserve It
Intervention
X-Static Process
Easy Ride
What it Feel Like For a girl
Nobody's perfect
Gone

Had a hard time trying to get into this album. Madonna just sounded uninspired and self-absorbed on it. The cover art is also misleading, since it really has nothing to do with the lyrical theme of the songs. She sounds alot more enthusiastic and focused on Confessions.

I will say, I've been listening to Hollywood A LOT for the past week. Course, I'm listening to it on a comp, cos I really am over AL as a whole.

Hollywood is a left over from the Erotica period that finally got to see the light of day.

Yeah, Madonna and WO also tried to use it in Ray of Light, but couldn't get it to fit with the rest of the album.

I like 'American Life',but I'm enjoying 'Confessions' so much more.It is now officially my third favorite Madonna album,after 'Erotica' and 'Ray Of Light'.

American Life is sooo underated. It's one of my favorite Madonna records.
Yes, the rap is aweful, but the record as a whole is great!
